How to determine the electrode (anode and cathode) ???
- Look at the battery terminal
- Electrode which is connected to the negative terminal is CATHODE
- Automatically you know ANODE is the electrode connected to the positive terminal of battery.
How to identify the gases collected at the electrode???
- CATHODE : you can find the letter H in the spelling, so remember H for HYDROGEN. ;)
p/s : [ no H in anode]
- So at ANODE, oxygen is collected.
How to test the gas???
- At cathode - HYDROGEN - using burning splinter (kayu uji bernyala). Api akan terpadam dan menghasilkan bunyi "pop".
- At anode - OXYGEN - using glowing splinter (kayu uji berbara). Api akan menyala.
If the volume of hydrogen gas collected is 30cm³ , what is the volume of oxygen collected???
- The ratio of H:O is 2:1 ;- so 15cm³ of oxygen is collected.
